Gilbert Arenas out for 3 months...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Washington Wizards leading scorer Gilbert Arenas underwent two different surgical procedures on his left knee on Wednesday and will miss about three months.

Arenas had been experiencing swelling and soreness in the knee which he had surgically repaired late last season. After sitting out the past two games, Arenas did not travel with the team to Charlotte and underwent an MRI Wednesday morning, which revealed a cartilage tear.

"I'm just going to sit in my sorrows again. I have three months to (be) back positive again, but right now, it's hard," Arenas said in a posting on his blog Wednesday. "I need to start thinking about longevity in my career instead of just this injury right now. Every great player has missed at least one year."

Anyone think the Wizards could make the playoffs without him?

I don't think so, he is too crucial of a player on the team, and clearly the best scorer on the team. The Wizards are 6-5 right now, but I think they will go downhill. But I guess you never know in the Eastern Conference, the Wizards may just come back and make a run for the playoffs near the end of the season
